CONCLUSION

God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength. It was to shame the wise that God chose what is foolish by human reckoning.

Let us venerate the sign of the cross.

– Through it we have received the sacrament of salvation.

Let us pray.

All-powerful, ever-living God,

may our sacramental celebration of the Lord’s passion

bring us your forgiveness.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Let us praise the Lord.

– Thanks be to God.
